HAHAHA

Like I was really going to follow through and post every day's workout. Oh well. My marathon was November 1st. My goal was 9:30 pace (which is about 4:10, I think) but I really wasn't sure if I could average that the whole way, so I knew I would be happy with 4:15, so I made that my goal. I finished in 4:05:50. I was so so so happy with that. :) It was about a 30 minute PR.

That said, I was SO CLOSE to being under 4 hours. So I'm ready to get back at it and pick another one and get under. And it was a really good course (Indianapolis Monumental). However, it is advertised as flat and fast. It probably is fast, and maybe it is relatively flat (I can only imagine it's hard to find 26.2 miles to run on that are truly flat - plus it'd probably be boring), but the hills it did have are doozies and they're all in the second half. That is not fun. I did decent hill work - both my 20 milers were at Eagle Creek, and I think I did another few long ones out there, but the hills were still a bit rough. But I would definitely do this one again, and I'd be more prepared.
